(a) The commissioner shall initiate and conduct the implementation of a program designed to carry out the purposes of sections 32-9i to 32-9l, inclusive. Any business facility which qualifies under the definition contained in subsection (b) of section 32-9j may file with the commissioner an application for a certificate that such facility is an eligible business facility. Such application shall be in such form and shall contain such information, exhibits and supporting data as the commissioner may prescribe.
(b) If the commissioner finds that a business facility described in an application for a certificate of eligibility meets the requirements in subsection (b) of section 32-9j, the commissioner is authorized to issue such certificate. Such certificate shall specify the time period to which it relates and in which such business facility is an eligible business facility for the purposes of sections 32-9i to 32-9l, inclusive. A certificate of eligibility shall specify and identify the location of the eligible business facility to which it relates and, by appropriate designation, the jobs created by the business facility described in such certificate, during the time period to which such certificate relates. Any certificate of eligibility issued prior to July 1, 1984, shall remain in effect for the period for which it was initially issued and may be extended or renewed by the commissioner for a period not to exceed two calendar years from the original expiration date.
(c) A certificate of eligibility may be revoked by the commissioner, after a hearing, if the commissioner finds that the facility therein described fails in any respect to meet the eligibility requirements in sections 32-9i to 32-9l, inclusive, or may be modified if the commissioner finds that statements therein with reference to eligibility under sections 32-9i to 32-9l, inclusive, are not in accordance with facts determined by the commissioner. Such revocation or modification may be ordered if the application for the certificate and other information supplied by the applicant failed to fully and fairly disclose the facts relevant with reference to the requirements of sections 32-9i to 32-9l, inclusive, or if there has been a material change in such facts since the date when the certificate of eligibility was issued. In revoking any certificate of eligibility the commissioner shall determine whether the facility was an eligible business facility for any period of time, and if so, shall specify such period of time in a determination, or the commissioner may determine that such facility was not an eligible business facility at any time.
